Uniforms
Why Uniforms?
-
Modesty: Students will be expected to wear a uniform that reflects their great dignity – being a Child of God, and the dignity of their vocation as students, and the seriousness of our shared tasks and goals.
-
Community: Wearing a uniform reminds us that we are a community, with common values, goals, and aspirations. It helps to strengthen this sense of belonging.
-
Reduces Distractions: Uniforms assist with facilitating the focus on our priorities and shared goals and values. It reduces the tendency for students to compete with each other by wearing the "cool" brand name clothing.
-
Neat / Professional: Research reveals that students learn better when dressed for the goal of learning. We can reflect upon how we dress according to the task. (Dressing up for church… Dressing in active wear for exercise... Dressing in pajamas for bed...) Therefore, wearing a uniform places our students in the state of mind for learning – improving our students’ attention, focus, achievement and behavior.
